My last light switch was Chrome under black heat shrink. I bought an OD switch recently that was also Chrome under black heat shrink. Roger

Hi Rob. It seems the stud is not loose but just spinning. I guess the threads must have stripped when they tried to remove the nut. They told me they weren't going to use the airtools to remove the nuts so nut sure how this happened, although the car is new to me so maybe it was already an issue on the car... Myles

Hi David - Unfortunately the car's got an original set of ARE mags on it so really want to keep the wheel... I was thinking maybe to do something similar to what you suggest - undo the other wheel nuts and try to apply some pressure from behind with a long pry bar or similar to give enough friction to undo the nut. Although I fear that the reason that the stud stripped in the first place is that the nut may be corroded to the stud (although doesn't look like it). I'll have a go at it over the weekend - at the moment the car is booked into a place recommended by the tyre shop to h

Yes it is though pricey. L799 lens Stuart.

It wouldnt come through the drum I dont think and so unless he was lucky and no one fitted the two drum retaining screws the wheel still isnt going to come off. Stuart.

You might struggle to find a chrome one but a lot of the supplied black stalks are chrome underneath. Stuart.

You have DM Stuart.

How much are you asking Stuart ?

Hi, John! Comment sa-va? I'm out with the Vitesse at Oulton today. You didnt see that last year, but you' ll recognise the van. My good wishes to Ann-Marie! John

I believe this is unlikely to happen as the flange on the stud has to be ground to fit passed the shoulder at the rear of the hub, hence blocking it from turning. james

Isn’t the issue that he can’t get the wheel off due to the spinning security nut ?

The only TR that I saw this year on the Tour Auto. This at le Circuit du Vigeant .

If the stud is the threaded-in type and the nut is just spinning without undoing, does that not mean that the stud has come un-screwed from the hub and is now free? Presumably the only thing stopping it coming out is the locating flange being too wide to come through the hole in the wheel. If that is the case, surely removing the other three wheelnuts will allow the wheel to be taken off complete with that stud. Worst case would be if it is the later press-fit type of stud and the spline is no longer gripping.

Sorry I misread. The original stud will pull through the brake drum. The larger diameter of the stud between the two threads is to locate the brake drum on. This is what a drive flange and studs looks like This is the rear drive flange and studs with the brake drum removed (for some reason the axle shaft nut has also been removed - This is not required to be removed)

Myles, If somehow you can stop that rotation, the job will become significantly easier, as you can simply remove the nut, take the wheel and brake drum off the car and replace the stud with one of these. http://STUD WHEEL REPAIR TR2-4 (revingtontr.com) What type of wheels do you have? Are you prepared to scrap the wheel, and replace it? Just a further thought. I wonder if removing the other wheel nuts and having a friend push/pull on the wheel (car jacked up and very well supported) whilst you try to undo the dodgy stud will help you remove it. I can't remember if the shou

Thanks Hamish Tom’s name has been mentioned to me by someone else so I may give him a call. Steve

Hi Mike, I’m interested, please email me details on stevebaker267@gmail.com steve

A „wheel rim lock nut“….

Thanks Graeme. Cheers

195x65 Pirelli P6's. The cheapness is due to the 196x65 being a common size for many car models.

Replacement stud that fits from behind the flange rather than screwing in as original. The head is large enough to not pull through the drive flange and brake drum. https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-100869PRESSFIT

Hi Jerry - not this one, it's one that needs a special profile to undo, but doesn't spin normally. Thanks Peter - would that stud pull through the brake drum or does the shoulder have too big a diameter? Myles
